    Lovely interaction, lovely background and the texture in the feathers is awesome. I assume it was a cloudy day?

    Sorry I see you mentioned the cloudy morning. Perhaps you could lighten the eye on the right hand bird a bit?

    I like the composition. The interaction as Chirs mentioned is great. If this were mine I would try and lighten the eye of the bird on the right as Chris suggested. Over all very nice. Thanks for sharing.

    Great dynamic tension between the birds.

    I agree with the lightening comments.

    As an experiment, I would consider lightening the entire image up to a half-stop or so, while maintaining contrast.

    And maybe clone out that tiny dangling twig on the right side of the branch.

    Overall, excellent portrayal of two beautiful birds in real-life action.

    Great interaction, the soft light really helped here. I also like the BG. I would run some NR on the BG.
